Posts with nothing but a link? C'mon....

[GilpinGuy]

I'm a bit tired of posts with no content other than a link to something found on Drudge or some other web site. At least post the text of the article for crying out loud.

Super lame rant over. Forgive me for not knowing all of the hip and clever internet lingo symbols that mean stuff about rants. Oh yeah...FUCK! That should score me a point or two on the rant meter, no?

ETA: Nothoing..LOL at myself.

Yes, but mine is a super lame rant. A much different animal.

I know. My internet connection here is so slow that I don't bother clicking on them, and youtube takes 3 days to download a 20 sec video.

[GilpinGuy]

OK, maybe I'm off here. Personally, at a minimum, I go to Drudge (http://drudgereport.com/) and Complete Colorado (http://completecolorado.com/) every day for the (conservative) news headlines. Then I come here and I see so many of the same headlines posted with the same links.....huh? Is this a headline service for a headline service? I hope we're getting paid for it.

Ok, I get it. Not everyone takes the time to read the headline news services. Maybe I'm an asshole. [Flower] (probably, actually)

Quoting the articles would be nice.

Titles get me. How 'bout adding something relevant?

[OtterbatHellcat]

I c&p a location url to share, I don't know how the hell it's gonna post.........usually it's a damn link.

I'll bet there's a bunch of us that just don't know how to do it right, and I"m one of 'em.

Sounds like someone has their newyorker rage acting up.

[spleify]

I agree with the OP on this one. If I enter a thread and there is only a link I back out and dont even bother looking at you. If you dont have the time to explain a little about what your posting then I dont have the time to look at what your showing..

That's what I would think. Posting links is not a copyright violation, but cut and pasting entire articles without proper compensation or the authors permission could cause problems.

Bad News for Commenters Considered ‘Trolls’


Narcissists, psychopaths, sadists or Machiavellian? When it comes to online trolls, you can take your pick: Researchers say habitual electronic provocateurs have several of these serious personality issues.


[ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2]



One of the biggest studies yet into such behavior has found that Internet “trolls” — those who post deliberately provocative messages to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument — may need some intense therapy.


[ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2]



Researchers said sadistic behavior was most commonly exhibited online, and that commenters’ negative traits got worse the longer the person spent online, Slate reported.


“Respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles,” the team at the University of Manitoba said in their report.


Erin Buckels and two colleagues conducted the research via two tests, and determined “overall, strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the measures.”


Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. The Daily Mail reported:



One asked survey participants what they “enjoyed doing most” when on online comment sites, offering five options: “debating issues that are important to you,” “chatting with others,” “making new friends,” “trolling others,” and “other.”


It found only 5.6 percent of survey respondents actually enjoyed trolling. “Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others,” the team wrote. “Sadists just want to have fun … and the Internet is their playground!”


Psychology Today explained Machiavelli was legendary for his duplicitous nature, and modern psychiatrists now use “Machiavellian” to describe people who are brilliantly and dangerously self-centered.
Based on this research, it’s safe to assume whether online or in person, these trolls could benefit from a few doses of humility, or a visit to the therapist.

Roffles. I'll be honest, sometimes trolling is just funny. But thank goodness a scientist out there found this out for us that some trolls derive pleasure from making others squirm.
Up next I shall submit a grant for funding to find out if water is wet.

So there is a study that says I'm an asshole. Whoa, there's a surprise....

Oh, to make sure it is really, really scientific I'll have to check it at room temperature and verify this very cold, somewhat solid version of water I've been exploring that I think some locals have taken to calling "snow."

So you're checking ice and snow to see if it's wet? Until it melts 9higher temp) wouldn't it be cold vs wet? Therefore you're going to need a grant for 2 different studies. Just saying, if you're going for some .gov teat funding, grab as much as possible.
